Abstract

The preliminary investigation stage is considered the first step or the basic cornerstone of criminal proceedings. The most important step in the preliminary investigation phase is the issuance of a criminal warrant. Issuing these decisions in the age group of children and adolescents is of double importance due to the special situation and different personality of children and adolescents compared to adults and the views of human rights and ratified conventions for this topic. Despite this importance, the important issue is whether Considering the mental, psychological, physical condition and different personality of children and teenagers compared to adults, has the legislator adopted a fair discrimination policy or not?
The results of this research, which was conducted in the analytical-descriptive method in the light of judicial opinions, show that, although the legislator in Article 287 of the Criminal Procedure Law, with regard to the legal principles and the rules of fair and just proceedings, has tried to provide criminal protection orders for children and adapt the juveniles and predict them differently from the adults and according to the mental, physical, age and personality status of children and adolescents, but the reflection of these rules in the judicial procedure is not as expected and in fact there is a kind of gap between legislative and judicial criminal policy in This is especially noticeable.
